Month: January 2010

  • Crazy

    It’s been a crazy week, which I won’t get into, other than to say we are hoping it will all turn out fine at some point today. I had a ‘free day’ on Wednesday, since my appointment went so well. I totally needed a day off from exercise because I could barely walk after Jillian…

  • Weighing In

    Weigh in time! This morning I was: Weight: 209lbs Workouts: Short walk on Sunday, walk & Jillian on Monday, 5k run Tuesday. Today was also my first weigh in with my doc for the year. My last weigh in with her, before my holiday in the States, was around 97kg. This morning I was 95.9.…

  • My Hamstrings Will Thank Me… One Day

    Last night I finally started working out in earnest again after recovering from The Stupid Flu. To kick things off I did a Jillian Michaels DVD, Burn Fat Boost Your Metabolism. It’s probably my favourite of her workouts. I made it through the whole thing, which is a great thing considering I haven’t worked out…

  • Weigh In

    Weight: 209lbs Total loss: 28lbs Goal weight: 125lbs Workouts: EA Active for the Wii on Monday. My goal weight from my doctor is 132lbs, but I’m using 125 because that puts me in the middle of the range for my height. My only note about this weigh in is that it was done in the…

  • Life After The Flu

    I’m finally totally back at work now. I feel like my year is only just starting this week, what with being on holiday and then being sick. Because I was so sick for so long I’m taking some advice I found about working out post-sickness and only doing every other day and no high intensity…

  • What a Fun Week…

    For the past 7 days I’ve been in bed. Today was the first time I’d gone outside since last Saturday. This is all due to the evil, evil flu that Hubby is convinced we brought back with us from the States. We probably did to be fair. That seems more convincing when my dad was…

  • My new necklace & earrings

    I got this necklace & the earrings from my Aunt for Christmas. I love this necklace! I’ll add a close up of it later, it’s so pretty. <3

  • “It hurts remembering how it felt to shut down”

    My title comes from Careful by Paramore. It is one of my currently fave songs because of this one line. When I finally listened to the lyrics and heard it I was a bit shocked. Shocked because that one line sums up how I look back on my life. I’ve dealt with depression for a…

  • Paper Geisha

    This is my paper geisha doll! I got the design from a website, which sadly I can no longer find. You just print out the designs, cut them out and fold accordingly! So cute.
